The Finer Details in Car Detailing - part 4
Sealant or Glaze Application
You will need:
? 2 or 3 microfiber towels
? 2 applicator pads
? a sealer or glaze product
? (optional) orbital buffer.
1) Using a cotton terry applicator, apply the sealer/glaze evenly onto the vehicle surface. Use circular motions. Start with a 2 x 2 section.
2) Once your sealer/glaze has dried to a haze, buff off with a microfiber towel or a clean terry towel.
Follow this procedure until you have applied the sealer/glaze on the entire vehicle surface. An orbital buffer works well to speed up the job.
You can now wax the vehicle.
Wax is available in three forms:
Liquid
Paste
Spray
Liquid wax smoothes on easily, although the durability is not as good as with the paste products.
Carnauba is a natural material taken from the leaves of Brazilian palm trees. A wax with a high Carnauba content works well.
Using Carnauba Wax:
You will need:
? 2 or 3 microfiber towels
? 2 applicator pads
? Carnauba wax
? (optional) orbital buffer
1) With a round terry wax pad, apply even coat of wax on the vehicle surface. Work in circular motions. Begin with a 2 x 2 section.
Dont be heavy with your wax application because you will end up having to remove an excess amount of wax residue.
2) Using a microfiber towel or a clean cotton terry towel, remove all residue. An orbital buffer will work well, too.
Remember to remove all wax residue from the various creases and edges.
Use a soft bristled toothbrush to remove wax residue from all fixed items such as the radio antennas.
Use special care, as being too aggressive will result in scratches.
With time, you will have the exact products that suit you best. You might want to consider adding to your existing service. A sole proprietorship is a business that has only one owner. Whoever the realtor, they are sure to know the details. |
